The storm caused significant damage, including power outages affecting 20,741 homes and businesses in Florida’s panhandle. The counties are seeking federal disaster funding to cover recovery costs, as the current federal declaration only covers government response costs.

Hurricane Isaias caused power outages in Santa Rosa County and Escambia County on October 10, 2026, and heavy rains affected the areas on October 5, 2026.
